Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangalore Royal Challengers at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.

Ganguly’s decision to bowl proved extremely successful as right from the first over Bangalore Royal Challengers were struggling to bat. They lost Sreevats Goswami in the second over and KKR’s took full advantage of this by claiming wickets at regular intervals. After 14 overs the Bangalore team was struggling at 85 for five, with Jacques Kallis batting on 32 and Robin Uthappa on 8.
